Tackle Talk - Bass Fishing Podcast

Ladies and gentlemen on today's episode we have a very special guest, as we are joined by the reigning 2026 Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour Anger of the Year, Zack Birge! We chat with Zack not just about his incredible year this year on both the MLF BPT and NPFL circuits, but we spend a ton of time talking about THE bait that got it done for him all year long… the bladed jig!
